Misdemeanor Defense

If you are facing a misdemeanor charge, you may want to consider speaking with an attorney about your case. Misdemeanors, although considered lesser crimes than felony offenses, can have serious collateral consequences that could impact you adversely.

Misdemeanors have different classifications within classes. There are class one, two, and three level misdemeanors. Drug misdemeanors are classified as "DM" and include DM1, DM2, and DM3 level misdemeanors. Class 1 and DM1 misdemeanors are considered the highest level misdemeanor charges.

A misdemeanor could potentially impact your current job or hiring abilities in the future, your reputation, your ability to own a firearm (depending on various factors or if it is a domestic violence charge). Misdemeanor charges may have the ability to be sealed from your record in the long-term.

Please consult with an attorney to learn more specifically about the particular misdemeanor charge you are facing and what that means for your future.

 I meant to write my review weeks ago. I’m finally at a point where I can breathe a little. My case was a complicated one with lots of pieces playing part. Lauryn & her paralegal, Ana listened all the time to my worries & questions. It’s very important you have an attorney that doesn’t just treat you as more money for them. Lauryn is truly passionate about each client & wants to help them. She spends a lot of time researching, investigating, & everything else that goes into a case. I can say for a fact that I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere close to the finally sentencing if it weren’t for her. I was up against a lot & she fought hard. At the end of the day if your attorney won’t fight for you, I would lose that attorney. Also like to note that she keeps the financial side of it separate. They’ve been very understanding & have been working with me.  Thank you SO much for all your work on my case.  Nicole

 The legal system is already hard enough to navigate as a lay-person without slipping through all the cracks in the judicial system like I did. There were so many irregularities throughout the entirety of my case and there was no real chance at a good outcome, it wasn’t until Lauryn was finally appointed to the case that there was some direction. I had gone through a very traumatic experience and had to relive it through the justice system that was supposed to be designed to protect and serve us. After over a year working with this case she fought for me to have the best possible outcome I could’ve imagined with my case and I’m so grateful for all her determination and hard work! I don’t think anybody else could have handled this case so professionally and made me feel so confident in such a dark spot. I really appreciate everything she did for me!

 I know Lauryn personally and she was the first person I turned to when a friend of mine needed a legal opinion. Lauryn's knowledge of the courts and her compassion for people and the situations they find themselves in is a winning combination. Her integrity and the ability to identify the best course of action are the best reasons I have for recommending her to friends or anyone needing representation. Thank you Lauryn for helping and caring!

 I would highly recommend Lauryn Tully and her team. They are professional and respond in a timely manner. They also don’t just treat you as a client, you become almost like family and they do everything in their power to get you the best outcome possible. Lauryn went above and beyond for my brother, and family and I are greatly appreciative. If you are trying to find an attorney that is knowledgeable, professional, and is caring don’t hesitate to call the Law Office of Lauryn Tully!

 Amazing Lauryn went above and beyond to help my son out, she worked outside of office hours to help accommodate my working schedule so my son could have meetings with her. She made sure that my son in fact understand everything that was happening and what everything meant. Never once pushed him into any decision he was not comfortable with! I greatly appreciate all her hard work and the flexibility she was able to provide us! Thank you Lauryn for all of your hard work, it did not go unseen!

 Lauryn made a difficult situation during even more difficult time a manageable and stress free experience.

 I have worked with Lauryn a few different times now and I can’t possibly imagine finding anyone who could’ve worked harder or more diligently to help me figure out the best possible outcomes when I’ve needed her legal advice. She is prompt, understanding, and makes all the legal jargon easy to understand for the layman like myself. I refer friends and family to her now and will continue to go see her whenever a legal issue comes into my life. HIGHLY suggest anyone and everyone go through her firm, Lauryn is a true Rockstar!!!

 Excellence! Lauryn represented me on a reckless driving charge (8 points). She got it reduced to careless driving - 6 months deferred with fine. This means ZERO points if I am good;). She was professional, personable, thorough, responsive, and supportive. She was excellent to work with and outstanding at what she does. Communication was great. I am very grateful to her. She is familiar with the local courts, their people, and processes. Highly recommend her!
